Calling articles in trade publications such as the Library Journal and Booklist (published by the American Library Association, an organisation taking political stances) "peer reviews" places The Hidden Hitler among publications with a predominantly commercial or political orientation.

For a book which claims any academic merits whatsoever, peer reviews clearly should be considered only those reviews actually coming from members of the respective scientific community.

whatever, this is a stupid piece of crap. just someone else trying to soil hitler's image (as if it was needed to soil it MORE) 'cause notice adolf's is being widely accepted nowadays, or at least less hated (just like kennedy said "After visiting these two places you can easily see how that within a few years Hitler will emerge from the hatred that surrounds him now as one of the most significant figures who ever lived. He had boundless ambition for his country, which rendered him a menace to the peace of the world, but he had a mystery about him in the way that he lived and in the manner of his death that will live and grow after him. He had in him the stuff of which legends are made."), so let's make up shit!

Whoever you are I kind of agree. I think Hitler was a jerk who was completely misguided. But I also see the argument that he was gay as an attempt to further demonize him from the average person. It's also an attempt to demonize the gay community by saying that only one of their own could do that kind of thing. What's even worse is that a Jewish historian wrote this - it just throws any credibility of this work out the window. Simply because of the bitterness the culture would have for Nazis. Sure the Nazis were all monsters who will burn in hell - but let's not demonize them completely, I bet a lot of the bottom rung footsoldiers were half-decent guys.

[edit] Gas chambers

Were actually Germans gassing a non-Jewish, non-Roma, not-retarded gay prisoners? I don't think they were. They had everything written down, who (after being selected to the execution) could be gassed, who shot, who hanged, and who for example killed with a fatal injection. It was illegal to break these rules. --Kocoum 07:34, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
